Were not going to kneel it with 3 timeouts left are we?

He could remedy all of that by just playing well, or even half decent.

Challenge! Oh wait, we wasted 2 on horrific challenges.

Can Josh PLEASE do something??? Still somehow a one possession game!

We wish it was Favre. We’d have a lot more production that came with the mistakes.

He’s just gotta throw the ball. My God. This is shades of Rob Johnson.

You cant be serious...he had like 10 completely clean seconds in the pocket to find something or get rid of it to save decent FG position.

How confident are you in Josh hitting a screen?

This offense is just brutal.

Niiiice! Now we just need Josh to do SOMETHING!!!

I wish that’s all it was. The problem is we also see him totally rattled, throwing ducks, and missing the open receivers he does have. The special QBs are the ones who don’t get that rattled. There’s still a long game to go and he’s gotta show some kind of heart and poise.

There were some who said that. I’ve liked Josh up to now actually but this is unfortunately exactly what I feared, that he’d be one of these guys that has the deer in the headlights look in a big game.

Josh is a choker

This is the guy we should be happy we have over Mahomes?

Most disappointing so far is obviously Josh. He doesn’t even look that engaged. The moment might be too big for him.

Is Josh throwing this game? Wtf is he doing?

I would say B+. I think he’s a very good coach in terms of being a teacher, but I’m not sure I’ll ever like him as a game manager and his conservative philosophy. I’m still concerned that’s going to bite us later on with the season on the line against a good team.

I think we're good enough to possibly take the game against them at home...but not good enough to take the division. I don't think the Pats are going 15-1 or anything like other people here seem to, I think more like their normal 12-13 wins. But I don't think we're getting to that.

While I think this is definitely different than 2008 and 2011...I don't know to what level yet. We'll have to see how we contend with teams like the Pats and find out.

I'll be totally honest...I had it rated Darnold, Allen, Rosen, Mayfield, Jackson. But I also really don't watch much college football at all so that was really off some very small samples. I think I was also swayed by Rosen's "F Trump" hat though.

Good stuff, I like this team a lot and really loved the way Allen played overall yesterday. A couple of small things...even though it's been a McDermott staple...I'm hoping the conservativeness yesterday was because we were playing a bad team, but even that almost came back to bite us. I just don't think you can take the foot off the gas pedal in this league. You leave that door open and teams are going to come back on you, especially the mediocre to top teams. Really not a fan of kneeling with 45 seconds left and 2 timeouts at the end of the half and the really conservative offense in the 3rd quarter. Lets put these teams away when we have a chance! The other thing is maybe Gore makes sense in a goalline situation...but I feel like we're wasting a lot of other plays with him. He looks really slow. I don't want to waste those plays against good teams. But overall the team looks good and outside of Allen, the improvement with the D-line is really encouraging. QB and D-line are the keys to closing out games.

I would give him an A-. I probably judge less by stats than from what I see, which these days isn't popular, but I felt like he played a winning game. He led us to big drives when we needed them. I too was not thrilled with how conservative we got at the end of the half and 3rd quarter. We got a lucky break with the non-fumble call that could have really changed the complexion of the game. I like our D, but not enough to be that conservative with a lead. Especially when we face better offenses. The same with our offense, I like it more but I don't think it's good enough to give away possessions like that. This team needs to learn to keep the pedal to the medal and it starts with the coaching staff. If you watch a team and coach like the Pats, they don't let up. That's where this staff and team need to be mentally.

Gore is soooooo slow

Great 1st half but 45 secs and 2 timeouts and taking a kneel? Go for the jugular, always. That’s how you develop that killer instinct.

I actually do think they're going to move the ball well against us. We're going to have to put up some points in this one and sustain some drives.
